Still the Enemy Within, award winning film about the 1984-5 Great Miners’ Strike

14 August 2014

Unite the Resistance encourages all its supporters to go to these forthcoming screenings of Still the Enemy Within, the award-winning film about the 1984-5 Great Miners’ Strike.

Still the Enemy Within is a unique insight into one of history’s most dramatic events. With no “experts” and no politicians this is the raw first-hand experience of those who lived through Britain’s longest strike. Follow the highs and lows of that life-changing year and discuss the lessons for today.

The film makers say: “We are aware that Picturehouse are currently in dispute with the Ritzy workers over pay. We support the Ritzy Campaign for a living wage. We are in close contact with both Bectu and the Ritzy workers and are watching the dispute very closely. We are in continuous discussion with the campaign on our screening strategy and are taking advice from Bectu.”

The film has been supported by donations from national unions include FBU, CWU, NUM, PCS, NUT, UCU and Unite. There is a full list of branches who have given support at http://the-enemy-within.org.uk/thank-you-3/ Contact local branches of these unions, the trade council etc and encourage them to come.

And afterwards can you book a room to discuss the film and other activities locally—including building for the UTR national conference on 15 November?
